Question

Zinc oxide reacts with carbon, on heating to form zinc metal and carbon monoxide. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Name
(i) Oxidising agent
(ii) The reducing agent in this reaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

i. Carbon (C) is being oxidised and zinc oxide (ZnO) is being reduced. ii. Reason for choosing substances in

(i): Carbon (C) gains oxygen and acts as a reducing agent. Similarly, zinc oxide (ZnO) loses oxygen and acts as anoxidising agent

. iii. The given reaction is a redox reaction. Another example – Reaction between iron

(III) oxide and carbon is also a redox reaction
